[General Questions and Answers] Dennis V:
A few days ago I got a "new" windows mobile phone in, and I decided that I would cook a rom for it myself to get all the functionality I wanted, but after testing a few of my own and other roms I've got some questions about the different memories of my phone.

- It's a Sony Ericsson Xperia x1i, but I think my questions would also apply to other windows mobile phones.

- I'm cooking and running other peoples windows mobile 6.5.3 roms

- The phone has 512MB of flash and 256MB of RAM built in.

- I'm using Twinge Kitchen 1.10 for cooking the rom and importing cab's of the apps I want to use

I've tried roms of vastly different sizes, but the storage memory always remains the same. My question is, how is the flash memory on a windows mobile device used? I'm assuming the bootloader, radio and some other things might have their own partition, and then a partition for the rom, and one partition is for storage memory. Am I correct?

If I flash my phone to a small rom will the space I save on that be wasted? Is there a way to make the free space available as storage memory?

I've tried putting all the apps I wanted to install into the rom, and that worked fine, but on first boot they installed themselves into the storage memory, so I would have been just as well off by installing them after flashing the rom. Is there a way to add apps to a rom, and have them integrated in it in such a way that they don't require further installing after flashing, just running the apps from the rom like all the regular stuff is. (this is probably done by people who know how to cook roms, but I can't find an explanation on how to do it anywhere)

I would rather cook a minimalistic rom and use the freed up space as storage memory, and then install my apps manually, that way I could uninstall them whenever I wanted. Or would having those apps intergrated into the rom save me more space because they would be compressed?

Either way I would like to know if there was a way to increase the storage space, and make the rom space smaller. I guess I would need a partition manager for windows mobile/CE that can resize without data loss, and resize the rom and storage partition with the phone running, or perhaps on the PC, with the phone connected with the USB cable and running in bootloader mode.

I have another question about RAM, my phone has 256MB RAM, but it shows as about 200MB program memory of which about 50 in use with no apps running. What is the remaining 56MB used for? Is there a way to change this amount?

I have used Windows Mobile for quite a while now, but this is the first time I've tried cooking a rom, or even thought about partitioning the built-in flash, so to the more experience people the awnsers to my questions might be obvious, but to me they are not.
[General Questions and Answers] Dennis V:
I have thought of one possible way to re-partition the built-in flash, but I don't know if this can be done this way without messing anything up.

I could run Android from the sdcard, and resize the partitions on the phone-flash while in Android, but is there even an app that will let you resize those partitions in Android? Would this work without data loss, or if not would the bootloader be ok so I could flash the rom again in the newly resized partition?
[General Questions and Answers] JamesDisbrow:
I've had three WinMo 6.x devices (1 GPS and 2 phones) and both were able to have things stored on its flash memory. In fact, isn't that where the "My Documents" folder is?
[General Questions and Answers] Dennis V:
Yes, but I think you are mis-understanding my questions, I don't want to just store things in it's flash memory, that's no problem. I want to resize the partitions on the flash memory, using less flash for the rom, and more available as storage space.
[General Questions and Answers] Dennis V:
I have been researching further, but I keep coming up empty. I can't find any android or windows mobile app that'll even let me see the different NAND flash partitions, let alone manipulate them.

I could try and get a linux partition manager to work on android, but the more I think of it, the riskier it seems.

I've also been looking into using MTTY, but I can't find any information on what the commands are, except for tasks 28,29 and 32, and none of those will help me. I don't know if MTTY even has the capabilities to manipulate the partitioning.

Don't think so. Danstheman7 has a cwm flashable kg6 but it has no bootloaders so no recovery. To get recovery I had to Odin the kg4 leak then Odin kd5 then cwm flash thekg6

[Verizon Droid Charge] vegasjones:
I just rooted a couple days ago. I went with imnuts Voodoo Lagfix Kernel and also his EE4 Debloated v4.2.1. Coming from the HTC world this is all a little new to me. The #1 reason i rooted was for tethering(I'll take my chances with Big Red) so I know that it doesnt matter which ROM I use for that. But I also want to take advantage of possibly having better battery life and if its possible, increasing my 4g signal. Im in the charge and drain battery process of battery calibration now so i know that should help. But what about the 4g signal? Ive read that gummychared may help that, but is that claim substantiated? One thing is that I DO NOT want to sacrifice stability. I really dont care much about theming or customization, Im actually satisfied with LauncherPro, it customizes all I need. So I guess the question is, which ROM offers the best functionality rather than customization?
[Verizon Droid Charge] cold21blooded:
I don't think a rom effects signal strength.. Thats more of the radio.. I could be wrong tho.. Alot of people go to humble cus it has great battery life after calibration.. Go with the EE4 edition because its froyo and more stable.. You will need to recalibrate your battery again after you flash tho...... ALSOOOO post questions in general

Sent from the mind-controlled device of @Rsqweezy
[Verizon Droid Charge] streetlightman:
just my two cents but i would stay on stock if you want stability since no custom rom is "perfect" (not saying stock is either).

that being said, i've been using gummy for a while and haven't had any major issues. yea, i've had a few random reboots (once every few days) but other than that its great and everything just works.
[Verizon Droid Charge] vegasjones:
ahh. sorry. can a mod please move this to general?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I would go Eclipse or Humble if you want more of a stock/non-customized experience.

Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
[Verizon Droid Charge] 24BlackMamba:
eclipse 1.3.1 is the best.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
Battery life is 99% dependent on your kernel -- the ROM really doesn't matter at all. And you'll get the best battery life with imnuts' non-overlock PBJ kernel.

Anyways, as far as ROM goes, I'd also recommend Eclipse. Definitely the best ROM if you want to just flash it and be done.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Edvard_Greig:
I'm like you, that my first priority is stability and useability. I started on WM then was in iOS for awhile, and now to Android. As much as I can't stand a lot of the draconian pieces of Apple, I will give them a lot of credit for putting together something that is consistent, seamless and just seems to work.

I've been lukewarm on Eclipse there's some things missing that I need to either repair or go back to Humble for (Namely missing the bluetooth voice dial functionality). I've also experienced some odd anomalies with Eclipse that I didn't see with Humble. I'm curious to try out one of the Gingerbread ROMs- mainly to see if the updated radios make a big difference or not (signal strength=>Battery life). I've also just been waiting on updates to Humble etc too. Haven't tried Gummy yet, and with either Humble or Eclipse I've experienced zero reboots.

As far as battery life goes, I've found that the biggest difference is where you're at (Kernel too)...meaning that when I'm at home or work and on wifi, I get reasonable battery life...if I'm commuting, or out downtown it starts plummeting...I tend to leave 4G on just for convenience...3G seems to be a bit better on battery life, but more often than not I end up on a call and need to look something up and end up turning 4G back on anyway. This is as you've noticed that when Wifi is enabled the cellular data goes off, and wifi is a much lower drain on battery than cellular data.

Check out "Setting Profiles" it's a pretty good app that lets you define profiles for location, time of day etc to control radios etc. If you set location based on GPS that can kill battery, but you can also define location by WiFi SSID which works like a charm. This way when I get home I can crank ringer volume etc, but when at work it's on silent etc. I've noticed minimal if any impact to the battery because of it too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] vegasjones:
Thanks for that reply. I think I'm leaning more towards Humble. From what I've read it seems like the simplest, just put it on and leave it alone, type of ROM out there. I wasn't too worried about the look of it as I use Launcherpro but I just also read that Launcherpro might be a bit of a battery drain. So I think I'll load Humble up and see how I like it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
I really liked Humble. I'm running Eclipse right now, because I really liked the color scheme and feel of the theme. Functionally, I think they're both up to par (as was gummy).

I feel like I got better battery with Humble, but I'm not sure. I know its dependent on the kernel, but I also don't know if the packaged kernel was undervolted to make a difference. I just installed pbj oc on my phone today (was running the non oc version before) and am going to see if undervolting makes a tangible difference in battery life. It could just be that the phone has lost that "new feeling" or that Humble was advertised as having great battery life that skewed my perception.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Humble is awesome. It's kind of a bland, non customizable experience with great stability. Never once had any problems with Humble. If you're just looking to have a phone that "works" then I would suggest Humble, don't get it if you like to install themes or do other such things. What you see is what you get.

Eclipse on the other hand is more for customization(like gummycharged with all its themes). It's running a modified TW4 and it looks great, I LOVE all the Galaxy S2 widgets Nitro included in this ROM. That's the only reason I flashed it over humble. It's already got a great looking Honeycomb theme and soon there's going to be a red/black theme. There is only 1 real problem with Eclipse and that's the fact that 'clearing RAM' through your Task Manager can cause TWLauncher(TouchWiz) to close and force restart, basically freezing your phone for a good 15 seconds. It happens alot, I just kicked my habit of clearing RAM since apparently it does that by itself.

So the choice is yours, a bland non customizable ROM with great stability = Humble. An awesome looking ROM with tons of customizations and features = Eclipse
[Verizon Droid Charge] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
It would be doing a disservice both to the OP and to kejar and teamgummy to not point out that Humble is built off of GC.

They're all solid experiences.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tonsit:
I haven't had to tweak ... anything... really in gummy charged, it's clean and functional, the themes are a nice addition but I use the default theme anyway.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] maniac3389:
I would imagine that Samsung would have them online, just go and shop the accessories for the Tab on their website. But if it is still within 30 days of buying the device, maybe contact Samsung and see if they will warranty replace the headset?

Just as an FYI, any 3.5mm headset with a mic should work. (I've used an iPhone headset with the older Samsung Galaxy Tab before.)

Hello,

My GTab starts up fine (running Vegan 5.1). Once there, I cannot get it to turn off. The power button works, since I turned it on in the first place. I then drained the battery and tried to access both the bootloader and APX mode and it won't do it; it just continues with the normal "birds" screen and then normal Vegan load. I'd love to access the APX mode to fix it up, but can't. Drained the battery multiple times and tried the Power +/- combinations to access either mode and no luck. Read something about opening the GTab and shorting it, but wan't to avoid going that far. Any help woud be great!
